Are you a visual learner? In an immersion situation, there are a lot more visual cues.
Visual and aural, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm really losing it today. I just replied to an email from someone more on my boss's level than on mine basically saying that my boss is an idiot. Oops.
Also, my boots are backordered 7-10 days, or so they claim.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I LOVE the Jamie ICHC. I sent that some fellow MythBusters-obsessive peeps yesterday.

The roads were seriously bad in places, possibly the worst I've driven on barring complete impassability. Parts of one road were iced up smooshed slush. I seriously wondered if my tires had gone flat, it was so bad.
And now it is sleeting. I contemplated covering my windshield but just wanted to get inside.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ugh. That's me entirely, as much as it shames me to admit it. And I have no doubt that it stems from being told growing up how smart I was, and being praised for it, etc.
Yeah, me too. I still sometimes feel like I've basically coasted my whole life. I know Wallybee finds me to be a weird mix of conceit (I prefer to think of it as haughtiness) and self-denigration (I prefer to think of that as haughtiness too, but it's harder to construct a logical explanation).
Of course, if I decide something is fun, then the obsessiveness kicks in.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Bleah, I don't like the weather here today. Luckily there weren't too many idiots on the road on the way home.(Or if there were, they were unable to act idiotically beacuse traffic was so slow)

Our wings are not tired
I've done a pretty good amount of coasting in my education and in my life. I really didn't get started on my career until I was almost 30 and before that I bounced around a lot between things that grabbed my attention. In the long run it worked out for me. I discovered a career where having done a little bit of many very specialized things I suddenly had a very valuable skill set. I still do some coasting now, but I tend to drop myself into projects where I'm in just a little over my head, so I'm always learning new things and pushing myself which is what really keeps me going. Of course, it also raises my stress level.
